LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANTS COMMISSION — APPOINTMENTS
I have a supplementary question. If the Western Australian Local Government Association State Council returns to the minister the same panel of names, will he choose from that panel of names? Mr G.M. CASTRILLI

AnswerView source ↗

If the state council gives me a panel of names that is the same panel of names, I will wait for information from the State Solicitor’s Office on whether I can ask for another list — Mr P. Papalia : So you won’t? Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : I did not say I will not. I will wait for advice and then make my decision.
